Trattoria Belle Gente

I am actually genuinely upset as I write this review. Upset that this place has such great food, seating, service, and atmosphere but was completely empty except for my Dad and I (takeout side not withstanding). All of the food, from the delicious fresh pasta, to the great appetizers, to even the bread were superb. Our server was super polite and accommodating of all our requests. The indoor space was great and had a very classy vibe with nice paintings and fancy looking plates and such. Honestly, I had a fantastic experience and sincerely hope they get more sit down traffic soon.

My family and I really enjoyed this place today. Great service, great food, and ambience. My father actually went to the kitchen door to pay compliments to the chefs and the toddler with us, picky eater, enjoyed his entire meal. Highly recommend! BYOB, parking lot in the back, clean, friendly atmosphere - everything was wonderful!

I always look for a signature dinner when I'm on vacation. Bella Gente is absolutely our signature memory of this trip. The staff was attentive and thoughtful without being intrusive. The food was excellent. The portions were all Italian sized. My wife had the steak strip tagliatelle, a special, and it was melt in your mouth tender; and the chef adapted it to keto.

Bella Gente is a small Italian restaurant on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair. We discovered it by accident. The restaurant has 2 sections, the restaurant and the pizzeria. We ate at the pizza section. My wife and I ordered a personal pizza which was more than adequate for both of us.The pizza was superb,some of the best I've had in years. We live about 17,18 miles from Bella Gente and we will be going back.

The four of us went for lunch. The food was amazingg!!! The portions are amazing!! We had the margherita pizza, rustica pizza, orechete pasta, chicken franchese. All of the food was amazing!! The flavors were true to the Italian core. We had Alex as our server and he was very attentive! Tirmasu was excellent! We will definitely be back.
